To be massively pissed off with the Airbnb host?

We rented an Airbnb for a week somewhere nice and warm.

The description of the place banged on about how private it is and how she'd never come round and it not overlooked by anything.

The owners manual says 'please put bins out on Saturday'. That's it.

So aibu in thinking she should have fucking well mentioned the pool guys coming on a Monday?

Dh had taken ds off shopping so I was have a lovely relax on my own (for the first time since I got here) and removing some unruly minge hairs on the sun deck. I hear a chuckling and look up and there's one horrified looking pool guy and one horrified yet amused looking pool guy staring at me. Angry

I'm fucking mortified. I hadn't heard them turn up so have no bloody idea how long they'd been there. I was wearing a sundress but no underwear and I'm hoping to God they didn't see too much.

Now I'm hiding inside on the last day of my bloody holiday hoping they bugger off quickly. AngryAngryAngryAngryAngry

There's nothing gross about it whatsoever, it's hair... if you'd been plucking your eyebrows outside it wouldn't really be any different. She should've mentioned the pool guys if she made a big deal out if it being private.

UndomesticHousewife · 10/04/2018 02:37

Good god what a bunch of hysterical arses on this thread. It’s a few hairs. She hasn’t dragged her shitty arse along the sun loungers.
God forbid her husband might see her plucking a couple of pube hairs out.
I’d much rather a few pubes were blowing outside than stuck on a wet bathroom floor

ShiftyMcGifty · 10/04/2018 02:47

“you'd been plucking your eyebrows outside it wouldn't really be any different”

In a nudist colony. Everywhere else, yeah we prefer not to see other people’s pubic hair and by law cover them up.

MrPerkinsisaprick · 10/04/2018 07:38

I know a woman who's forever being 'caught out' 'accidentally' exposing her fanny. Not sure if she's making it up because thinks it's sooo hilarious or if she's just a pervert.

Ohyesiam · 10/04/2018 07:49

Don’t know why people are being such cunts to you op.
Yes your air bnb host should have told you about the pool guys.

AnxiousPeg · 10/04/2018 09:07

Some absolutely ridiculous pearl-clutchers on this thread.

The thing is, I genuinely freak out about things that are actually unhygienic - like most things connected with dogs and their shit all over pavements- but normal body parts?? Really??

You might think it's ungainly/embarrassing etc to actually be seen plucking out stray pubes (which OP clearly did, hence her post) - but the act itself is fairly tame, and pubic hair itself is just hair. What exactly is so 'vomit-inducing' about a hair growing on a woman's inner thigh??

You know those same hairs (well, the ones she didn't pluck!) will be in the pool with OP if she goes swimming? They're not toxic.

Jeez, and we wonder why girls have such horrific issues about body image! We've got (supposedly) grown women being 'sick in their mouth' at the thought of a woman plucking a few stray pubes. And other pathetic posters asking 'wow, how hairy are you ?'

Ffs.

Buzzlightyearsbumchin · 10/04/2018 09:18

Grin at everyone trying to outdo other posters with how horrified they are and how sick they feel.

Even bigger Grin at the surprise at you being naked in front of your ds.

I think your review will be ok, how would the pool guys even start that conversation about your plucking escapades. It wouldn't be an easy conversation to have Grin

I'm slightly jealous you can do that- my boobs get in the way of me seeing Blush

WhaleTasting · 10/04/2018 11:04

This thread is hilarious. Eating yoru own boogers is fucking fine on MN but picking a stray hair and letting it outside is the most disgusting thing you can do.

Belphegor · 10/04/2018 11:11

"Violating someone's property"? God, people here are extraordinarily uptight. It's hair. It's everywhere! It falls off your head and your body. Calm down.

Aeroflotgirl · 10/04/2018 11:14

Yuck, do it somewhere private,and clear it up😱😱😱

MadMags · 10/04/2018 11:18

Question; are made up pubic hairs the same as real ones? 🤔

Pinkvoid · 10/04/2018 11:27

You shouldn’t be removing your pubic hairs outside because it’s just plain bloody weird. But yes, the host should’ve mentioned. You could’ve been taking a dip in the nud for example which is perfectly acceptable but I’m sure you wouldn’t want two pool cleaners stood gawping at you doing it...

brogueish · 10/04/2018 11:41

Returning to the question, yes, the host should definitely have mentioned the pool guys. You hired the place, you're enjoying the promised privacy. I'd have been annoyed by them turning up unexpected and unannounced (can't imagine doing that , but that's just me...).

WhaleTasting · 10/04/2018 11:44

Erm, most people shed a pube or two from time to time so pool water is never entirely pube free

Yes and people are being absoutely pathetic about a woman's pubes.

DO people on this thread think ALL men shave all their pubes nicely in the toilet? No they don't, then they wear loose trunks in to the pool...leaving their pubes to float freely!

jellycat1 · 10/04/2018 11:52

Yabvvvvvu to use the word 'minge'. Ugh.

AjasLipstick · 10/04/2018 12:19

Jelly I think that's why OP's had such a bashing here.

The word gets used a fair bit on here but something about the WAY in which she used it was more disgusting somehow.

The rest of the post was fairly articulate and that made the word stand out more.

blueduvetface · 10/04/2018 12:24

Of course I walk around naked in front of ds! Why on Earth wouldn't I?!  I'm sure one day he'll decide he doesn't want to see it but as he's only 3 I can't see it being that soon. Do people really cover up in front of their 3 year olds?!

@Mumontherocks1 I can veet once every now and then but it brings me up in a rash. If I did it twice my skin would not be having it. It's only a stray few that must hide under the skin for a few days and then appear from nowhere like they've been there months.

DanceDisaster · 10/04/2018 12:27

I definitely walk around naked in front of my 3yo. I think that’s pretty standard so that was a strange thing to pick you up on.

I think my 3yo would definitely not like the “legs akimbo” thing you described on page one though...

Some of the comments have been a bit ott on here definitely. I still think it’s a bit yuck, but it’s hardly crime of the century.

blueduvetface · 10/04/2018 12:30

I did sit for a while wondering what word to use!

I've seen the scathing Mumsnet responses for using the wrong terminology for down there so thought minge was fairly inoffensive yet amusing.

Lady garden sounds ridiculous.

Most sound vile (more vile than minge.)

Some sound childish (foof, etc.)

And mons or mons pubis sounds a little twatish.

I agree minge is a bit Inbetweeners, sorry.

OP posts:
DanceDisaster · 10/04/2018 12:31

Ugh thank you for not using “mons”. Hate that word.

Bikini line maybe?

Dancingleopard · 10/04/2018 12:32

Why the fuck was you doing it outside 😂😂😂

ZibbidooZibbidooZibbidoo · 10/04/2018 12:37

Why do so many MNers have so much naked walking around to do? Confused

AjasLipstick · 10/04/2018 12:38

I reckon if you'd just said "Pubic hair" you'd have been ok.
